From the Pastor's Studio! - A Paradox: The Rich Farmer!

The paradox is this: "A full silo, yet an empty heart", Jesus explains this is not what God wants of the rich farmer portrayed in his parable. God's wants those of us who are of means to proportion what we have to others and by doing so, proportion to God. The farmer's mistake was he died before he could share. He only wanted a full silo, and instead he was left with an empty heart and dead to the world.
